is there anything this administration says that is NOT a lie?
sorry, just a rhetorical question.

But seriously, I've NEVER seen such an disgusting display of hubris, prevarication, and downright bald-faced street corner muddy-nosed naked dishonesty in any previous administration, even the republican ones.

the question is: at what point do they become unmasked?

1. I've asked the same
It appears to me that, for the moment at least, a very large segment of the population WANTS to either believe the lie or, possibly, doesn't want to make the effort to confront the lie....

What do you think?

2. Soon...
It is inevitable. First the stories come out about how they are paying off the media. Then the media, trying to save their own butts, comes down hard on the administration.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

4. Once Bush said we're not going to have an all volunteer army.
But then he was corrected by one of his Kool Aid Oathers and flip flopped.

5. Yes there is
When someone starts their morning speach by saying 'Good Morning' they are telling the truth in that it is actually morning.

9. Yes. Back in Fall 2001, Rummy said they would lie to us. . .
in the pursuit of war. I believed him then, and nothing he's done since has convinced me he wasn't totally honest that day.

12. "It would be easier if this country was a dictatorship.
"If I was dictator."
--Emperor Tiberius Bunnypants, three times in 1999-2001

"Who cares what you think?"
--Emperor Tiberius Bunnypants, July 4th, 2001, celebrating in words the recapture of America by Kign George and the Aristocracy

So there's two.
